In commenting upon the EAGLES ar
ticle of q few days ago on Oklahoma
and Wichita which it transfers to its
columns, the Caldwell Journal says:
The EAGLE points to many advantages
that that city will derive from the open
ing up Of that country to settlement,
and Wichita will derive all the benefits
if the citizens along the border quietly
fold their hands and wait for something
to turn up that VIII benefit them The
Journal further says: kansas will be
the place where every bushel Of corn,
oats, flour and provisions of all kinds
must come from for two or three years,
at least, to supply the people Of that
country until they are self-supporting.'
The paper also improves the occasion to
point a business moral for the benefit OF
its own town

Don Carlos, the noted Spanish bour-
bon. is said to have laid claim, to the
throne of France. Don's calculations
were made little too previous. He
took it for granted that a change OF
rulers would involve change of form
ofgovernment, just as a great many other
people believed, but the principles OF are
publican form of government proved 70
be too deeply rooted in the people to ad-
NIT of such change, and the succession
to the presidency of the French republic
was accomplished amid the acclaims of
the multitudes of '.viye Ia republique. ;"
st present the chances for preferment
to station of royalty cannot be said to
be very fiattering. Even his own coun-
try only wants convenient opportunity
to follow the example of their neighbors
north of the Pyrennes in the matter of
changing their form of government.

The substitution Of sadi-Carnot for
jules Grevy al the Elysee does not give
universal satisfaction. The war party in
Germany are disappointed. The French
monarchists Of all shades are disappoint-
ed; they wanted the Republicans 10 lose
their heads and commit follies. That in
eorrigible Old Bonapartist fire-eatar
Paul de Cassagnac, says that Sadi-C arnot
as president is ridiculous. Another
disappointed Partisan journalist saws the
moral Of this election is that in order 10
get on in politics you should cultivate
reputation for mediocrity favored with
honesty. As TO that it may be remarked
that mediocrity favored with honesty IS
a much safer thing for the French re-
pnohc TO tie up to under existing cir
cumstances, and indeed under any cir
cumsiances, than brilliancy favored
with rascalitv.

EXERCISE FOR AGED pEAPLE.

VI. B~ouchardat, professor Of hygiene at
the Paris faculty Of medicine, protested in
strong terms at a recent lecture against
the advice given by some hygienists who
recommend almost a complete rest 10 the
aged, in the following terms: Il protest
against the oft repeated adage that old age
Is the age OF rest. This sentence has led
10 a very great error in hygiene. The reg
nlar general exercise OF all organs of nut ri
ton and Of locomotioa is necessary to per-
sons OF all ages. The greatest attention on
this point is all the more necessary that
the tendency to rest brings on a gradual
diminution Of the strength.
IF the old man does not resist, his
strength will yisibly and progressively di-
minish. and the few days he may have to
live may be transformed into just so many
hours. In proof that regular daily exer-
else is beneficial to the aged one has only
to observe the results in some of the hand
soonest old men, who take little or no rest.
Moderate exercise, particularly walking,
should be the leading precept Of the hy-
giene of the aged, without which longevity
is well nigh impossible.
Professor B~ouchardat also recommends
that old people should maintain their in
tellectual faculties. or otherwise they will
get into a state of incurable torpor. This
is best accomplished by having some
steady intellectual pursuit, and by taking
an active interest in this events and pro-
gress of the day. In our boyhood we re-
member a very old man, who told us he
kept in as perfect health as an old man
can be by ~chopping wood for an hour or
two every day. This he regarded as SUI
fcient exercise for him. Another old man
we know finds his health greatly benefited
by saving wood with the ordinary buck
saw.-Herald Of HeaLh.

4 Prominent Citizen Of Washington Murdered.

The brutal and wanton murder of O.
prominent citizen occurred on the evening
OF the 18th, at the corner OF Pennsylvania
avenue and Fifteenth street. in front of the
Riggs bank. As Joseph c. ]. Kennedy left
his real estate Office. Immediately adjoin-
ing the bank and walked toward a letter
box he was followed by John DAILY. As he
posted the letter Mr.. Kennedy
turned whereupon Daily plunged q case
knife to the hilt in the left
side OF the abdomen OF the aged man.
The stricken one fell to the sidewalk, gasp
ing blood gushing from the dreadful cut
DR.. Ruth, OF the navy, who was driving by
jumped out and pronounced tho wound
fatal Kennedy died in a few minutes.
The murderer stood calmly gazing at his
bloody knife as a bystander caught hold
OF him. DAILY was soon after taken in
charg by an officer, who hurried him to the
station. He was discharged from the
workhouse the same morning, and is said
to be demented.
He hung around his victims office all the
afternoon, evidently waiting for him. At
the police station Daily made q rambling
statement, saying that the dead man had
swindled him out OF some money in g. real
estate transaction. The only possible ba.
sis for this statement, 80 far as can be
learned is, a number Of years ago Daly's
lather was in the employ of Mr.. Kennedy,
who gave him q piece Of property which he
afterward bought back. The dread event
can pro badly be set down az another case
OF Guiteauism.

viz, that it bids fair to be a failure.
Mr.. Boulanger, one of the French en-

work, declares that as soon as the
present supply OF funds is exhausted
which will be in about three months
the work will have to be abandoned

observation leads to the conclusion
that not more than one-fifth of the

Influence

People who seek the atmosphere OF
good Influences, even though their
motives be at first selfish, are often
led into better ways Of life. Uncon-
sciously they are moulded by their
surroundings, and their life takes the
coloring of the impressions they re-
ceive. An old major of the Hanove-
rian army, on the retired list, applied
to the English chaplain of King Err
nest for permission to attend the
chapel services, the room was smaIl,
and. by the kings order, no one not
connected with the court was allowed
to attend the English services held
there, without special permission.
The old major did not wish to Join
in the service of the prayer-book, and
he cared little for the truths enforced
by the sermon; he only wanted to i'm
prove himself in English, as he could
not hire teacher.
The chaplain granted him permits
sion, and gave him small PRAYER
book. SO marked that he could easily
follow the prayers.
He became a regular attendant and
an attentive listener, in order to learn
English. He was sceptic, who &C.
copied nature as hisGod, and delighted
to revel in her beauties. He did not
posses a bible. observed no Sabbath,
and never prayed; for he said that his
God knew all things, and did not
need to be told what his creatures
needed" What blessings the Creator
sent to him '.he accepted with thank
fulness. If at1liction came, be bowed
II submission.
The English clergyman, by CONVEX
sing with the major, found points for
sermons and research. He aimed to
put things fairly, and meet objections
squarely. The major become an in
terested listener, from another motive
than his desire to learn English
The major objected to miracles, de-
claring that they were impossible. The
clergyman answered that all things
were possible to the Creator of the
universe, Who knew how to use His
own laws; that the question of miracles
was simply a question of fact, and that
fact could be proved by evidence
This led to discussion upon the
authority of the Scriptures. The
major, at last, admitted that thew
might be a revelation of the divine
will and the methods of spiritual at
tainment. He searched them; he
found them ''quick" to probe his con-
science and to arouse him to feel that
he needed the spiritual lifo and light
He began to pray to God, who know
eth all things for the simple reason
that the word commanded him to pray.
He began, also, to observe the Sab
bath, chat he might aid in restoring the
day to its primitive purpose. which he
now believed to be good one, and to
meet the physical and spiritual needs Of
men. %.
The reading of holy writ and the
service of prayer opened his eyes to
see whence he could obtain release
from his sins and peace of soul He
became a Christian, and ordered his
life in obedience to the divine Master.
The old soldier attended divine SER
vice that he might familiarize his ear
to English speech. The desire to learn
English was SO overruled that he
opened his heart to the word Of God.
Right influence moulds in silence. and
one can never tell how and when ia
good fruits will appear. - YOUTHS Com
